Blessed Be Thy Name Forever
I waded out into the surf and I gazed across the rolling waves. The salt air whispered softly and the waves rolled and broke, soaking into the shore, pulled swiftly back to be replaced by the next one rolling in. Majestic. Magnificent. I bent to swish my fingers through the foam and watch the water […]
The Kind of Pictures You Really Don’t Want During Harvest
We were headed to the field with supper on a Friday evening during harvest. I remembered that I’d forgotten silverware and being a considerate person and assuming the partakers of said harvest meal might prefer to have a spoon to use, rather than their fingers to eat potatoes and corn with, I swung into my in-laws’ […]
It Was A Birthday Party
I feel like looking at party pictures again! This was a birthday party for a friend. Maybe in 2008? Yes, it was. I went and checked. We served Strawberry Lemonade and adding fruit to the glasses was a fun and pretty thing. And went well with the beverage! This was just an afternoon party with […]
Yarn Along ~ Dishcloth Giveaway, Lime Crochet Spa Cloth, and Coco’s Candy Shop
Linking up with Ginny for Yarn Along and over at Wool on Sundays ~ Good Morning ~ Another Yarn Along! I finished my pinky/coral dishcloth from last week’s Yarn Along! Hooray! And I started on another one with this variegated yarn. I can never decide which I like better. Solids or variegated. I’ll think […]
Darling Kittens
We adopted a stray kitten last year, that showed up at one of our aunts’ house. My kiddos named her O’Malley and she’s been a really good cat. Right after we returned from Hatteras, she blessed our farm with three of the cutest kittens to be born here in a long, long time!! Simply darling. {As […]

The Wheat Is Cut
Every stalk has been cut. Well, practically. There’s always a few that get missed or run close along the edge of the field, left to wave in the wind until the disk starts in. Every bushel has been hauled. Kernels so small when by themselves or in groups of two or three or twelve. […]
Yarn Along…Dishcloths and the Penderwicks
Linking up with Ginny.…. WELL!! I surprised myself. Yarn Along has inspired me to pick up those knitting needles! It helped to get my knitting out again and then I see it and pick it up and work on it here and there or if I get a phone call or have a few […]
Sunflower July 2015 Flexi
Look what bloomed for July! A bright, cheery, sunny Sunflower flexi! I’m thinking this is rather of a perfect flexi for a Kansan! 🙂 Accompanying the flexi this month are matching Sunflower you-pins. You can find them both over here at Lilla Rose… If you are brand-new to Lilla Rose, you can go over to […]

Memoir Monday {No. 77}
Renae had this Cameo Appearance flexi in at the beginning of last week and I loved how it looked with her braid and her shirt. Harvest kept on rolling. Peterbilt kept rolling. For the most part. Combine breakdown at the end of the week. We encountered way too many ticks one night at the field. […]
And Then There Were Mermaids
{these lovely photos are credit to my incredible sister at Sew a Fine Seam} The creative possibilities are endless on a beach full of sand and shells and an ocean providing an endless water supply for sand that needs dampened slightly to form and mold. On Friday evening the girls sculpted and crafted […]
Dream On! {Five Minute Friday}
Dreams and hopes and plans. They are important. They offer adventure and hope and life. Life without the looking forward or the what-ifs or the reaching-for-the-stars becomes flat-lined and dull and dreary. A dismal thing to trudge through completing tasks, but missing the miracles woven in the moments. The clean, tidy kitchen with each dish […]
Of Cutting and Filling and Unloading
Golden stalks. Golden Grain. Crisp stubble. Hold off rain. Cutting up. Cutting down. Across and Over. All around. Combine Bin. Getting Full. Chaser Bin. Dump it all. Augers out. Emptying loads. Truck full. Off it goes. Elevator. Wait in line. Dump. Repeat. Harvest time. Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2015
Yarn Along ~ Just a Dishcloth and Savor
I actually worked on my dishcloth some more! I thought it might be just in the very same stage as last week. My cousin and her family are here visiting and her husband is helping out my farmer man during harvest. We’ve had some moments here and there to chat and I worked on […]
